Hey Violet! Good question. I put a few alternatives down below each point in the article itself, and I'll list them off for you right here. Let me know what you think. Overall I think Medium posting and SEO is a great bet right now, but here are the others. :)

Alternative: LinkedIn. The organic reach on LinkedIn is outrageous right now.

Alternative: Create a small product for your audience. Sell a 3-hour masterclass on something. You’ll make more money and generate a stronger bond with your followers.

Alternative: Go guest post. Write 20 guest posts for a variety of websites instead of making 20 pins and hoping the Pinterest Gods bless you.

Alternative: Respond to all the comments you get on all your articles all the time with THOUGHTFUL stuff.

Alternative: Start a Wordpress site

Alternative: Do a virtual summit. You’ll get email subscribers, money, and 30 new influencer friends.

Alternative: Make an email list freebie.
